In this article, we will show you how to install DokuWiki on an Ubuntu 14.04 VPS with PHP-FPM and Nginx. DokuWiki is a simple to use and highly versatile wiki software written in PHP that doesn’t require a database. DokuWiki is easy to install and use, has an amazing variety of extensions and it is open source. This guide should work on other Linux VPS systems as well but was tested and written for an Ubuntu 14.04 VPS.

Open https://myDokuWiki.org/install.php in your favorite web browser and you should see the DokuWiki install screen. On this page you’ll need to enter your Wiki name, enable ACL and create a superuser.

Once you are done with the configuration, delete the install.php file:

[user]$ rm ~/myDokuWiki.org/install.php

That’s it. You have successfully installed DokuWiki on your Ubuntu 14.04 VPS. For more information about how to manage your DokuWiki installation, please refer to the official DokuWiki site.
